The Shattered Seas

H
HollowLT

An ocean of islands, pirates, and danger—Dominion law fades and treasure calls.


Author's Note: This world is designed to capture the thrill of classic pirate adventures—swashbuckling fights, buried treasure, and treacherous alliances. It blends grounded seafaring with hints of the supernatural, where ancient sea gods may stir beneath the waves and cursed gold can change a man's fate. The Aurelian Dominion provides a powerful force to push against, creating tension between freedom and order. Players are encouraged to forge their own pirate legend, whether as rebels, mercenaries, or self-made kings of the sea. Morality is fluid, loyalty is earned, and the sea shows no mercy. Every island holds a secret, every rival ship could be the last thing you see, and every decision has the power to turn the tide.

Description

Sprawled across several alleys and wooden decks, this open-air bazaar deals in black powder, rare spices, shackled prisoners, forged maps, and relics looted from sunken wrecks. Prices shift by the hour, and so do allegiances. Some stalls are honest crooks; others are fronts for spies or slavers. Merchants shout deals while lookouts perch above with crossbows. Secret: One of the stalls is a front for Dominion defectors selling intelligence.

Appearance

The market is a chaotic blend of wooden stalls and makeshift decks, adorned with colorful tarps and flickering lanterns. The air is thick with the scent of exotic spices and gunpowder, while the sounds of haggling and shouts fill the atmosphere. Lookouts with crossbows keep watch from above, ensuring the safety of their illicit trades.
